1. A portable multi-display device comprising: a first housing having a first display; a second housing having a second display; a joint portion in which the displays are adjacent to each other when the housings are spread; protecting means for covering the sides of the displays in the joint portion; and a central processing unit controlling the display operations of the displays, wherein: the protecting means is integrated with or separated from the sidewalls of the panel housings, the protecting means exists between the displays when the housings are spread and the displays being adjacent to each other, the central processing unit is capable of driving one or both of the displays depending on the state sensed by a sensor, the displays come in close contact with the sides walls of the panel housings in the joint portion when the displays are mounted on the panel housings, pixel electrodes are disposed to be closer to the side of each panel housing in the joint portion than the opposite side thereof, the central processing unit drives the two displays using a signal input from the Internet, the panel housings are spread in the horizontal moving and the vertical moving from the stacked state, and the display of the upper panel housing is present on the top surface thereof and the display of the lower panel housing is present on the top surface thereof in the state where the panel housings are stacked.

2. A portable multi display device comprising: a first housing having a first display; a second housing having a second display; a joint portion in which the displays are adjacent to each other when the housings are spread; protecting means for covering the sides of the displays in the joint portion; a central processing unit for controlling the display operations of the displays, wherein: the protecting means is integrated with or separated from the sidewalls of the panel housings, the protecting means exists between the displays when the housings are spread together and the displays are adjacent to each other, the central process unit in the first housing controls the display of second housing when the housings are spread, the central processing unit is capable of driving one or both of the displays depending on the state sensed by a sensor, the displays come in close contact with the sides walls of the panel housings in the joint portion when the displays are mounted on the panel housings, pixel electrodes are disposed to be closer to the side of each panel housing in the joint portion than the opposite side thereof, the central processing unit drives the two displays using a signal input from the Internet, the panel housings are spread and the displays are adjacent to each other, when the panel housings are coupled from a state where the panel housings are separated into a main body panel housing and a sub-panel housing, and the main body panel housing is able to be used even when the panel housings are separated from each other.

3. The portable multi-display device of claim 2 , wherein a separable or foldable cover is formed on the first housing.

4

4. The portable multi-display device of claim 1 , wherein the display is fixed on the panel housing by a chassis enclosing the display and a display drive circuit, and the chassis is provided with a fixing member.

5

5. The portable multi-display device of claim 1 , wherein a non-display area formed by two displays contacting each other at their one side portion is less than 3.2 mm.

6

6. The portable multi-display of claim 1 , wherein the first signal is a radio frequency signal and the second signal is a driving signal.

7

7. The portable multi-display device of claim 1 , wherein pixel electrodes in the joint portion come in close contact with a sealant and pixel electrodes on the opposite side of the joint portion are spaced apart from the sealant.

8

8. The portable multi-display device of claim 2 , wherein each display is fixed to the corresponding panel housing by a chassis enclosing the display and a display drive circuit, and the chassis is provided with a fixing member.

9

9. The portable multi-display device of claim 2 , wherein the width of a non-display area formed by two displays contacting each other at their one side portion is less than 3.2 mm.

10

10. The portable multi-display device of claim 2 , wherein pixel electrodes in the joint portion come in close contact with a sealant and pixel electrodes on the opposite side of the joint portion are spaced apart from the sealant.
